Description of problem: After yum updating to fedora-development last night (3/5) NetworkManager hasn't kept a stable connection. It wil stay up and connected for anywhere between 1-15 minutes, then disconnects. This is affecting both wired (e1000) and wireless (ipw2200) connections. I'm attaching a snippet of my syslog during which the problem occurred 2-3 times. Please let me know if there's any further info needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.5.1-18.cvs20060302.i386.rpm How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable/start NetworkManager 2. 3. Actual results: connections will drop Expected results: stable connection Additional info:

also should note that wpa_supplicant package is latest rawhide (0.4.8-5) and although it's chkconfig'ed off it does appear to be running in a daemon mode (when wireless), which makes /sbin/service think it's started: [dave@flanders ~]$ sudo chkconfig --list | grep wpa wpa_supplicant 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off [dave@flanders ~]$ sudo service wpa_supplicant status wpa_supplicant (pid 7971) is running... [dave@flanders ~]$ ps -ef | grep wpa root 7971 1 0 01:45 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -dd -g /var/run/wpa_supplicant-global dave 7994 2611 0 01:45 pts/2 00:00:00 grep wpa ...and doing a `service wpa_supplicant stop` will cause the wireless connection to cease working.
Shortly after reporting this bug I started NetworkManager again but left NetworkManagerDispatcher stopped (didn't have anything configured for use w/ dispatcher anyways). And since then I haven't encountered the problem. Is it possible that NetworkManagerDispatcher is actually the cause of this?
problem has not re-appeared ... closing
